"Hewitt was an experienced navy diving instructor with 20 years in the service, and he told his dive buddy that he would swim back to shore himself"
Very surprised that such an experienced diver would make such an incredibly dangerous decision. Or that his dive buddy would agree to it.
Possibly a decision based on over-confidence.
- jgtrosh 9y agoThis reminds me of a sign I saw at the top of a rather dangerous ski slope: « la neige ne reconnait pas les bons skieurs » ≈ “snow doesn't recognize good skiers” ≈ it's not because you're supposed to be good that you'll get special luck.
